>those of you who don´t know this -- the only freshwater sharks in
>the WORLD exist in Nicaragua, I am accually on the lake that they
>live in. I ran into 3 guys who were motor-biking to south america,
>and they have been ´spear fishing´ while scuba diving in the

>Anyhow, I am now chilling in Grenada, Nicaragua. I moved from
>Monterico to La Libertad, in El Salvador... met up with 3 guys who
>were driving a converted van to nicaragua and ended up jumping in.
>for the 3 days of driving on insanely terrible roads with lunatic
>local drivers, I had no seat belt (hi mom). I was chilling with an

>We moved through el Salvador, spending one night near the border,
>burned through honduras, and I jumped off at Masaya, 16k short of
>their destination that night. The next day I climbed an active
>volcano (hi again mom), then came here.

>Head to Costa Rica for Christmas and New Years, then fly straight to
>Lima, Peru. Hike the Inca Trail, see lake titicaca, then bus or
>train to Brazil for Carnival (knowing NO portreguese and some
>spanish). After that I will fly to Panema. From Panema I´m working
>my way along the carribian back to Guatemala, then to Belize, the
>yucatan peninsula, and then back ´home´.

>Anyhow, got much research and what not to do... so cheers!
